EXPLORING ANCIENT GREECE! Society & Religion DVD
and Companion Workbook a product of Astarte Resources
In a land divided into many
independent city states, religion was a strong bond that helped the ancient Greeks to identify with each other and to distinguish
their society from the world of the outsider. This film takes students on a journey to visit many of the major religious sites
of ancient Greece, from the large temple of Apollo at Didyma; to the important sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia; and finally to
the well-preserved archaeological sites in Athens. There is a discussion of the Greek gods and of the popular religious festivals:
the Panathenaic Festival, the Eleusinian Mysteries, and the great drama festival of the city of Dionysia.
The companion Workbook includes
maps, illustrations of Greek artifacts and photographs of archaeological sites. There are short discussions of the material
covered in the film Questions are geared primarily for middle school and high school students and are excellent tools to stimulate
classroom discussion. Teacher notes are included at the back of the workbook.
Recommended for Middle School
and High School students.
